How to Prepare your Condo for Summer

Finally, it is time to clean your condo and enjoy the outdoors. A well-maintained condo helps you stay ahead of accidents and trouble that could cost you large sums of money.  If you have condo insurance, you may want to review your coverage limits and make sure that your sunny days are covered. At Carminucci Agency, we recommend checking the condo for any faults that could cause significant accidents.

Conduct thorough check-ups

To ensure that you have everything under control, it is prudent to start with the areas that you don’t have to worry about. The interiors of the house, like floors and walls, should be the first places to begin your check-up.  The exteriors should come last as they may need more work. Check for cracks on the sidewalks, walls, and roofs. This will help you spot problems early and allow you to work on them sooner.

Clean the whole condo

Clean and pack your winter items and store them well. You could also donate what you don’t need to declutter your condo unit. If you have exterior storage or a garage, empty the contents and store the winter items. Unpack the spring and summer content and make sure they are not faulty like a plastic inflatable children’s pool.

Clean debris and schedule for an HVAC system maintenance. Add a layer of paint on the exteriors and replace bulbs in fixtures. If you have security systems, it’s time to review them. Your fire extinguisher should be strategically placed, but check the type and expiration date just to be safe. Keep in mind that condo insurance in Croton Falls, NY does not cover most water damages. Therefore, consider checking all your pipes for blockage and repair or replace them immediately.

Staying safe in your condo requires your contribution. Instead of waiting to make a claim, work on those areas that need attention before it is too late. If you need more tips or have any questions, feel free to contact Carminucci Agency serving Croton Falls, NY today!
